“I’ve essentially moved from being a lone coder”
Lines of code are what’s fed into the computer. Where do the lines of code come from?
The code resides on my laptop. It’s generated by Claude Code. I push the code to my GitHub repository, which is synced with Railway.
Is that helpful?
Again, if you’re serious (and it kinda feels like you’re being adversarial) I’ll continue the conversation. But if you’re just asking cynical, rhetorical questions, please let me know and I’ll stop entertaining them.
I also use it to evaluate my code. I might have a function or plugin, and I upload it to ChatGPT or Claude and ask for it to evaluate the code, or to find a bug.
Or I upload lines from my site’s error log, and have it suggest what caused the problems.
A great use: I use Charles Proxy to monitor activity on a site, to find the source of a malicious redirect. And once I get the malicious redirect, I give ChatGPT to Charles Proxy log files, and it finds the source of the malicious redirect.
I’ve used Claude to build a WordPress plugin that exposes scripts and other stuff that is normally hidden from view. And then I use Claude in Chrome to diagnose what might be going on on the site — high res images in the post listing page, conflicting scripts, a misplaced character in the functions file, and so on.
I really could go on ...
